            By Command of their Majesties.  Paid printer's bill #9 6s (Treasurer's Book).  The New Tragedy of Dido, for Benefit of the author, is oblig'd to be deferr'd till Thursday next.  Receipts: #229 9s. 6d. (Treasurer's Book).  Had no intention of going to the play, but seeing Garrick was to play Lord Chalkstone, I (after hearing Mr Romaine's Lecture on the chapter which contains ye Destruction of Sodom) went before 9 to ye right-side door of ye Pit.  The doorkeepers said, --No Room.  Saw that ye Canopy, Yeomen, &c. would prevent my seeing.  They desired me if I could not get in at ye other door to come back.  Found a number of people waiting there and at ye door of the First Gallery; so went back, entered and stood in ye same disagreeable situation I did last night.  But I saw the inimitable Garrick very well.  [Comments on excellence of whole cast.]  Scarcely cool now past eleven o'clock.  Ye King and Queen, Princess of Brunswick, Louisa, and all that Tribe were at dl tonight (Neville MS Diary)
